ATC Fun...

The Hero Arts Challenge this week is to create an ATC card (Artist Trading Card). I have never created one and thought it might be fun to play around with. So here is my first ATC using lots of Hero Arts goodies...To create my ATC card....

I used the back of some old KI Memories frost paper to get a frosty white cardstock and then heat embossed an HA snowflake stamp with white embossing powder. I added a HA pearl to the center to make them pop. I colored the snow girl with markers and added lots of bling with a glitter pen...sorry, it's hard to see in the photo. I also added some pink chalk to her cheeks to give her the look of being out in the cold. I recently saw one of Jennifer's winter cards where she layered vellum to create a snow scene and thought I would try it here and I like the result! I created a pocket too with the vellum by stitching around the edges. To finish it off I found some silver, mirror like confetti and stamped the sentiment, "be merrry" on it with Staz On ink and attached it with a pearl straight pin.

Overall, I had fun with it. I think I was just trying to keep my fingers busy so I wouldn't order one of these......The Fuji Instax Mini. I really want one! Sigh. Maybe soon.

Okay, off to bed. Got a bit of a tummy ache. Be back soon...
